Hope's Peak Academy - West Quarter, The Reserve Course Building

The next day, near the evening...

"So you're telling me you want to teach this Sato girl a lesson?", Vince asked, unsure of why Natsumi called him today to meet her here. She wasn't exactly too specific about what the meeting was for, so he was pretty much clueless about it.

"Shut up. You listen to me, Vince," Natsumi told him, in a very impatient tone. "Sato has undermined my authority for far too long without suffering the consequences. I decided to arrange a 'friendly meeting' with her upstairs in the music room. I figured I needed to talk some sense into her, you know what I mean?"

"You're going to take her all on your own?", Vince asked.

"Eh... not necessarily. But I will definitely talk some sense into that marble-sized brain of hers, that's for sure," she told him. She reached for her back pocket, which made Vince startled since he thought she was pulling a weapon out on him. But she did it slowly, and he saw that it was a yellow taser. Natsumi placed it in Vince's hands.

"Now, this could go wrong. So if I'm I'm not out of the music room in the next ten minutes, you come upstairs, take that taser and immediately back me up. Tase Sato on sight if you have to. Do you understand?", she told him very strictly.

"Loud and clear, ma'am," Vince replied. I can probably see why she gave me a taser instead of a gun, he thought. Makes much less noise, draws much less attention.

"Don't call me that. Just wait right here for now. REMEMBER, if I'm not back in ten minutes, run like hell upstairs to the music room! Keep track of the time until then, Vince," Natsumi said, before walking up the staircase to get to the floor of the music room. Vince decided to sit back and wait outside for a bit for the time being. It was getting boring quickly.

"Never gonna get it, never gonna get it, never gonna get it, never gonna get it," Vince mumbled, trying to find something to do other than count. He continued mumbling lyrics from different songs until he noticed a Reserve Course boy outside that was running like hell towards his location. Vince could tell because the boy had the traditional black RC uniform that all the other male students wore. This boy had very spiky, dark brown hair, and jade eyes. Suddenly, the boy pushed Vince out of the way to make it upstairs.

"Out of the way! I need to get upstairs, and fast! No time to explain!", was all that the boy said before opening up the door and running up the flight of stairs to the top floor.

"Woah, hey hey hey! Slow down! Geez, what was his problem?", Vince said out loud. He didn't decide to go after that boy yet. I figure he's probably just late to his class or something like that, he thought. Say, he was running pretty fast for a Reserve Course student, though, I'll admit that. By now, about five minutes have already passed.

*Meanwhile*

The Music Room - Hope's Peak, The Reserve Course Building

"Stay away from me, you fucking psycho!", Natsumi screamed as she backed away from Sato. Sato swung the metal bat and lunged at her, before Natsumi ducked and avoided the attack. The bat hit and smashed a flower vase to pieces, spilling shattered pottery across the floor. She tried to crawl away before getting back up.

"Someone help! This bitch is trying to kill me!", she screamed at the top of her lungs.

"You can scream all you want, but it's futile. This room was made to be soundproof. That way none of the music disturbs the other classes. No one can hear you. Why do you think I picked this room in the first place?", Sato told her tauntingly. Natsumi was frightened by the furious look in Sato's eyes, like a lion ready to murder its prey.
